Looking at buying one. Would appreciate all the info I can get. I've read up on them some but I'd like to hear from you shooters.
WHAT!Looking at buying one.
Why not, my other bored guns can use a friend HAHAHA. Actually I got invited to go hunting with a co-worker weekend after this. The Optima is ready to roll smoke.WHAT!
Only in my frugal mind. I'm not going to spend lots....Is budget an issue?
If you convince yourself to do it, just have one built and be done with it. You can be into a custom encore for around $1800 ish. The savage won’t touch it. You can be in a full on bolt smokeless for a little under $3000 and have a one hole 1000 yard gun.Only in my frugal mind. I'm not going to spend lots....
I have an H&R 45/70 I've thought of having converted but I haven't looked much where to get it done.If you convince yourself to do it, just have one built and be done with it.

Don't. All the guys that used to convert them have all but quit. If you want a conversion and don't own an encore frame buy a scout V2 from Hankins rifles.I have an H&R 45/70 I've thought of having converted but I haven't looked much where to get it done.
Do they not shoot well?Don't. All the guys that used to convert them have all but quit. If you want a conversion and don't own an encore frame buy a scout V2 from Hankins rifles.
It should shoot just fine it's just going to cost you more in the end and only a select few that I'm aware of that will do one anymore. 10 years ago you could get a barrel converted for about $130. Not anymore.Do they not shoot well?
True. I can provide his phone number if needed.^ May wanna look up his shop. He doesn’t chime in here very often.
They shoot fine. Getting someone to convert is the issue. In my opinion is the best way to go you end up with the short light break action muzzleloader 45 caliber Barrel baby blue Harvesters sabot good bullet 40 caliber moderate load of smokeless and you can take any deer in the countryDo they not shoot well?
I think I've about talked myself out of one, so I’ll get two.
STOP IT you enabler!!Fixed it.
Would you, please? I have a friend who has one of those - it's pretty sweet - and it needs a barrel. Thanks!True. I can provide his phone number if needed.
